Hi Wang,
Some comments:
I see you only track skipped Inserts/Updates and Deletes. What about
DDL operations that are skipped, what about truncate.
What about changes made to unpublished tables? I wonder if you could
create a test script that only did DDL operations
and truncates, would this timeout happen?
